Earlier this year, Bono and the guys were spotted at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios with Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, sparking rumors that the album, which has been in the works since the band’s 2009-2011 tour, would be ready for release in 2013. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was also reportedly seen at the studio, though there is no word yet whether it was for work or for play.

In a recent interview with Irish radio station, 98FM (via NME), bass player Adam Clayton hinted at what fans can expect from the upcoming record.
